Amsterdam Sloterdijk station


Amsterdam Sloterdijk is a major railway junction to the west of Amsterdam Centraal station. It is at a rail-rail crossing, with an additional chord. It is on the railway line from Amsterdam Centraal to Haarlem and the last station before the junction where the line Amsterdam Centraal-Zaandam diverges from it and on the crossing west branch of the Amsterdam-Schiphol railway line between Schiphol and Amsterdam Centraal.
The Hemboog chord connects the crossing lines, providing a direct connection between Schiphol and Zaandam. There are platforms at both crossing lines and at the Hemboog; for the latter there is a separate entrance on another side of the station square.
There are two lines of the Amsterdam Metro that stop here.

History

The original Amsterdam Sloterdijk station was opened in 1956 just south of the current station. Sloterdijk was then just a small village. From there, one could travel to Haarlem; the line to Zaandam took a more northeasterly route via the Hembrug.
In 1983, the line to Zaandam was rerouted via the Hemtunnel, and the current station was opened, initially with the name Sloterdijk Noord. The old station was renamed to Sloterdijk Zuid and closed in 1985, when the line to Haarlem was rerouted via the current station, which was renamed to Sloterdijk at the same time. The platforms for both lines are at the lower level.
In 1986, the Amsterdam-Schiphol line was opened, with platforms at the upper level. The Hemboog, connecting Schiphol to Zaandam, was opened in 2003 but had no platforms at Sloterdijk until they were opened on 14 December 2008, with a separate entrance.

Accidents and incidents

At the ground level is the railway from Amsterdam to Haarlem and Zaandam, with branches to Alkmaar, Purmerend, and Hoorn; at elevated level is the railway from Amsterdam to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The booking hall is at an intermediate raised level. On the south-west side of the crossing and beside the station square runs the Hemboog chord, connecting Schiphol and Amsterdam Lelylaan to Zaandam. The platforms on the Hemboog are numbered platforms 9 and 10.
